[New-bugs-announce] [issue26262] Cannot compile with /fp:strict with MSVC

[Zachary Ware]

New submission from Zachary Ware:

As reported in msg258685 (issue25934), Python cannot be built with /fp:strict while using MSVC.  As Mark showed in msg258686 and msg258689, there are three calculations that could be replaced with suitable constants to allow /fp:strict to be used.
